MY MISSION: Many real estate agents are all about the transaction & the agent. I'm all about the relationship & the client. My mission is coaching the home BUYER, SELLER & BUILDER…& working for SOLD….TOGETHER. Keeping this as my focus has given me the freedom to slow down, focus on the opportunity to serve families & clients w/their real estate needs & strive to do my job right. At this point, a majority of my business is referral based, which is a completely humbling & proud accomplishment. MY PLAN: I've been a Broker/Realtor in the Tri-Cities since 2005 & have 6 yrs prior banking/lending knowledge that lends itself very helpful in the real estate world. My approach w/my clients is "proactive". With so many steps involved in buying & selling a home & all the third party vendors (title, escrow, inspector, appraiser, contractors, lenders, insurance agents, etc), not to mention…the emotional aspect of real estate, it can easily become a very overwhelming & stressful time. Communication & expectations are two vital components that are standard practice in my business. Combine that with my specific Buyer & Seller process that I walk all clients through….and it’s happy clients every time. MY WHY: When you enjoy your work as much as I do, I think it's an even tougher challenge to find the balance between family & work. Luckily, my husband and 2 little girls help me navigate this area well. I love that my job allows me to be home most days to pick up the girls from school, take off the weekends when we just need to head to the mountains & fish or snowmobile, but also meet a client at 9:30pm if we need to make a deal come together for them. If I keep my mind on successful 'relationships' & earning the trust of my clients by being a great real estate agent, the rest just follows.
